TomBees are bringing in dark yellow pollen today. No hazel pollen and the bees are done with the snowdrops so I'm not sure what they're finding. Tallest daffodil in the warmest spot here is only a few inches sprouted up. Maybe so other kind of early blooming tree around. Whatever it is the bees like it.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/beekeeping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beekeeping</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bees</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/apiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#apiary</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/honeybees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#honeybees</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/beehive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beehive</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/March6" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#March6</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CCBYNCND" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CCBYNCND</a>

TomThis is the "East hive" that has the old queen from the almost 2 years ago swarm. The upper deep box was still heavy so they have plenty of food.

TomChecked the hives today to verify they had enough food. This is the 'Center hive' and the quilt box was very wet and had a little mold starting to grow in it. I took all the pine shavings out and wiped it down with some tea tree oil soap after I was done checking them.
